Continental Extreme DWS - WOW
The cheapest I could find the Michelins was $270 per tire. Do the research and you'll see. That's $1080, plus tax, mounting, balancing, disposal, etc. It's $1300 out the door, trust me, and no, I wasn't gonna get taken, I know how to negotiate. I negotiated with Discount Tire to get them to go from $169 per tire to $154 on these tires.
Regardless, I'm completely satisfied with the Contis and with the price I paid for them. That's all that matters.

IMO....DWS are "fatter". Ordered a set of 235/35 &275/30-20 to replace Falkens in the same size and the Conti DWS were noticibly "fatter". I had to exchange for 225/35 & 265/30-20 to fit like the Falkens did. DWS's do ride great in the rain too!
Is that a bad thing? I wouldnt want rims sticking out.
I too, have these on my GS and love them. I think as I put mileage on them, they started to get noisier, but only when coming to a stop. At highway speeds, noise is definitely not an issue.
I must Agree! I ditched my Michelin pilot sport for the DWS tires myself. I love the dws, and the price is much better. I paid a little under 600 shipped for my dws from tirebuyer.com about 7 months ago.
Side Note: I ran over something sharp and blew out the tire from the inside. I called conti and they replaced my tire with no hassle at all. I just went to one of their dealers and just payed to have the tire mounted and balanced. Needless to say it was a great road hazard warranty they have.

Most guys know me on here for puting some crazy miles on my GS. I have over 57k on my front tires (245 35 19) and the DWS indicator letters are all still on the tire. I am going to get 100k out of a set of low profile (staggered setup) non-rotated tires! My 275 30 19 rears were toast after 48k due to camber issues which I fixed by installing a rear camber kit. I was so impressed with this tire, I bought a set for my wifes RX. Best tire in the rain!!!
I'm running the DW not DWS currently and am looking for my next replacements. I must say my tires when new were pretty quite and smooth, now nearing end of life I am starting to hear road noise. I was looking at the DWS, Toyo Proxes 4 and Nitto Neo Gen and NT 555. all of which I have had before on previous cars except for the NT555. Right now I'm leaning towards the DWS or NT 555's.
